10* WCC GAME OF THE YEAR: HOUSE $ Y-T-D!
(NCAAB) Tigers (PAC) vs. Cougars (WSU),
Point Spread: 16.50 | -105.00 Tigers (PAC) (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* WCC GOY on Pacific.

I think this is a great spot for Pacific to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch.

I won't try to convince you that the Tigers are a great team, that's just had a lot of bad luck, but that's not the truth. Pacific is just 5-13 and it's off nine straight SU losses. It's been trading ATS wins/losses over its last six games though, and off an ATS loss as a -1 favorite, I believe this pattern will continue, as note that the Tigers are in fact 7-3 ATS in their last ten off a SU/ATS loss as a favorite.

But more than anything, I absolutely expect 13-3 Washington State to take the foot off the gas in the second half as it gets caught "looking ahead" to its big Nationally televised game at Gonzaga up next.

After four straight victories, and with a massive game on deck, not only is this is a natural letdown spot, but also a look-ahead position.

When you add those two factors together you get TRAP GAME.

Grab the points, the play is PACIFIC.

Good luck, NP
